Oscillatory motion of viscoelastic drops on slippery lubricated surfaces
Water droplets move smoothly at a constant speed down an inclined tilted slippery lubricated surface. Here, droplets of polymer fluids are shown to exhibit for the same homogenous surface an oscillatory motion down the slope due to the viscoelastic ...

Near-Fault Tilted Deformation of Buildings Associated with Coseismic Surface Ruptures in the Shenxigou Section, 2008 Mw 7.9 Wenchuan Earthquake, Eastern Tibet [PDF]
The coseismic surface ruptures associated with large earthquakes contribute to severe damage to near-fault buildings through fault deformation. However, previous studies simplified geological conditions and were based mainly on numerical and physical ...

Estimation of the Diffused Solar Irradiation on the Tilted Plane of Photovoltaic Solar Panels
Solar energy, in the recent decades has gained a great attention due to its clean, simple and easy adaptable process. The effective utilization of solar energy is possible only if proper data of incident solar radiation is available. There are number of

Dynamics of Low Anisotropy Morphologies in Directional Solidification
We report experimental results on quasi-two-dimensional diffusion limited growth in directionally solidified succinonitrile with small amounts of poly(ethylene oxide), acetone, or camphor as a solute.

Non-Gaussian velocity distributions in excited granular matter in the absence of clustering
The velocity distribution of spheres rolling on a slightly tilted rectangular two dimensional surface is obtained by high speed imaging. The particles are excited by periodic forcing of one of the side walls.

Orbital quantization in the high magnetic field state of a charge-density-wave system [PDF]
A superposition of the Pauli and orbital coupling of a high magnetic field to charge carriers in a charge-density-wave (CDW) system is proposed to give rise to transitions between subphases with quantized values of the CDW wavevector.

Partially gold-coated tilted FBGs for enhanced surface biosensing
To date, there is clear experimental evidence that gold-coated tilted fiber Bragg gratings (TFBGs) are highly sensitive plasmonic biosensors that provide temperature-compensated detection of analytes at concentrations in the picomolar range. As most optical biosensors, they bring an evanescent wave in the surrounding medium, which makes them sensitive ...

GPR survey to reveal a possible tectonic tilt of the Brežice Sava River Terrace in the Krško Basin
It has been supposed that the Brežice Sava River Terrace (BSRT) is tectonically disturbed near the town of Brežice and tilted to the north. To confirm this tectonically induced tilt in a quantitative sense, low-frequency Ground Penetration Radar (GPR ...
